Nigel Farage rejects idea of rejoining Tory party under Rishi Sunak

After making an appearance on the reality show I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!, Nigel Farage has hinted that he may make a comeback to the political scene. However, he has ruled out the possibility of rejoining the Conservative party under Rishi Sunak's leadership.

Over the weekend, the previous leader of Ukip concluded in third place in a reality TV show. This was after he was placed inside a container filled with snakes as his ultimate test.

The ITV show seems to have reignited interest in Nigel Farage amongst the Conservative Party. It's been suggested that he might rejoin the Tories, which he left back in 1992 as a result of the Maastricht treaty. Rumours are floating around that some Conservative MPs would like to see Boris Johnson come back as party leader for the upcoming election, with Farage as his running mate. This move could help the Tories bounce back from their current poor poll ratings.

On Monday, Farage mentioned in an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain that he would contemplate the idea of returning to politics. He stated, "I won't disregard the possibility. I am unable to predict what the future holds at this moment."

However, he rejected the possibility of rejoining the Conservatives with Sunak leading the party. He believes that the Conservative government is in complete disarray, especially since they're facing a confidence vote tomorrow on a matter that affects every human in the country, which is immigration at an unprecedented rate not even seen during Tony Blair's era.

He stated that Rishi is certain to lose power and the Conservative party is on the verge of a crushing defeat.

His remarks will give a glimmer of hope to the right-wing members of the Conservative party that they may be able to arrange some form of agreement with Farage's Reform UK party, which is presently receiving a 9% popularity rating.

Some of the senior members of the Conservative party have considered the possibility of attracting Farage again to their team ever since the Brexit decision. Lately, his status among the Tory lawmakers has improved as the party's rating in the polls has gone down.

During this year's Conservative party conference, Sunak hinted at the possibility of the Reform UK founder making a comeback by suggesting that the party welcomes individuals who share their principles and beliefs. He emphasized the Tory party's diverse range of views and opinions, portraying it as a welcoming and accepting community.

It would be quite challenging to make happen if Johnson and Farage team up to lead because neither of them is a member of the House of Commons. To achieve this, they would need a Conservative MP to vacate their seat soon and send Johnson back. Alternatively, their supporter can become the prime minister until the election, and Johnson can return after securing a presence in the Commons.

According to supporters of Farage, it is not very probable that he will attempt to run for a parliamentary seat during the next election. Earlier attempts have been unsuccessful, and as one individual informed the Guardian, "I believe the probability of him standing for election is extremely low. In addition, when he previously sought a Ukip position, he was imprisoned in South Thanet [the location where he stood], whereas now he has the opportunity to travel throughout the country."

On Monday, Farage mentioned that he wouldn't be jumping into any quick decisions. He suggested that it's unrealistic to believe that we can leave a challenging situation and instantly reboot British politics. Farage said this during an interview with GB News.
